C ome and get me, VicRoads. I hereby give notice that the next time I find myself sitting at a left- or right-turn red arrow,

with no oncoming traffic, and where it is entirely safe to do so, I am going to go through said red arrow, and let the devil take the hindmost.

Or you guys can take a few of my points. Whatever.At least I think that’s what I’m going to do. This is

a pretty big call for someone with an entrenched fear of authority, and whose most rebellious act has been wearing green cords with pink sneakers to free-dress day at school.

No doubt I’ll probably end up meekly sitting before a glowing red arrow, cursing the visual pollution and these often counter-productive traffic measures. But, dammit, I have had it with the disease-like proliferation of red arrows at the most benign and heretofore uncomplicated intersections in and around inner Melbourne.

Why have these lights been installed? What recently discovered problem are these signals supposed to fix? Why are we not trusted any more to exercise caution, judgment and care?

I have mentioned this here before, and many of you had an overwhelming response to my frustration, so it’s not just me; but clearly we don’t see or understand a looming danger that VicRoads or a local council have

identified at multiple intersections around the city. Let’s look at a few.

In Carlton, if you want to turn right into Queensberry Street from south-bound Rathdowne Street, you will now need to wait for a red arrow to turn green. This is a famous T-intersection: since the time the Exhibition Building was built, horse and carriage and motor cars equally have navigated the challenge of turning against oncoming traffic. Now, at a time of extraordinarily safe cars, road surfaces and navigation systems, you are no longer able to exercise the judgment you were taught as a learner to turn when it is safe.

As a logical consequence, cars bank up in a street sometimes devoid of traffic, creating a new traffic choke point in a city already filled with them.

At the intersection of Peel and Queensberry streets, one that dates to the late 1830s, a right turn from Queensberry in both directions is now entirely dictated by arrows. Once upon a time this turn was a great challenge, with oncoming trams to be avoided and two lanes of traffic. Most times, you had to wait until the turning light anyway. But in off-peak times, the red arrows simply hold you up for no purpose.

I wonder why young drivers are even taught any more how to negotiate the turn into oncoming traffic,

so few intersections require that discretion. The other day I sat behind a younger driver as she waited to turn right. The traffic cleared until she was facing an entirely empty road. She inched forward, and stopped. Then inched forward some more, and stopped. Resisting the temptation to toot her, I could see that without the instruction of an arrow, this driver simply didn’t know what to do.

Her car would have been filled with the most astonishingly sophisticated devices, but as a

driver she was lacking the ability to make her own judgment. Given the inherently unsafe things that cars can be, this has to be a potential recipe for disaster.

I know that the authorities argue that any measure that slows drivers and makes roads

a little safer is a good one, and I cannot argue with that. But if less and less thought and judgment is required from adults navigating the killing machines that cars can be, all I can foresee is a city of automatons dangerously reliant on the blinking of lights to tell us what is safe and what isn’t, and that scares me more than any unmarked right turn ever could. \

For nearly 30 years Vika Bull has been one of the staples of the Australian music scene, writes PETER WILMOTH

She grew up singing, she’s made a career out of singing with her sister, Linda, her husband is a drummer, she believes her daughter will be a musician, the books she reads are mainly rock autobiographies and she says she has

few passions outside music. But sometimes – just occasionally – there can be too much singing.

Last year Vika Bull visited Tonga (where her mother was born) for a family wedding. True to Tongan culture, there was a lot of singing. “They sing all the time,” she says. “Mum was one of the first Tongans to arrive in Melbourne, in 1956. Mum came out to study nursing, a few more Tongans came out, they formed a little community, started a church. They brought their singing, brought their hymns and we grew up listening to that, listening to the choir.

“Linda, my daughter, and mum and dad go (to Tonga) all the time. It was my first visit in 17 years. I’d forgotten that singing really is a part of the culture. They were singing all day. They’d be doing choir practice somewhere. It was amazing. My husband couldn’t get over it. They sing right through the day, until midnight. I got a little bit sick of it, because it never stops.”

Still, it was good to be back, she says. Did she feel as strong a connection to Tonga as she had before? “Yeah. I was a little bit sad. It’s poor.”

Vika Bull is one of the staples of the Australian music scene. For nearly 30 years she – mostly with Linda – has been ripping stages apart with that startlingly huge voice, creating extraordinary harmonies with Linda’s sweeter, more mellow tones.

She has worked extensively with Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows and for many years with Paul Kelly. She has travelled the world singing back-up for Joe Cocker, Sting and Bob Dylan. To have had a career in music for all this time is a great achievement, and she knows it. “That’s how I look at it. I just think I’m lucky to have been able to support myself in a job that I really love.”

The Bulls grew up in a close family. Vika’s and Linda’s mother taught them to sing. As children Vika and Linda would be taken to the Tongan church, where Vika was captivated by the hymns. “They were singing in Tongan so I didn’t understand it but I loved the sound of it. Church was boring. We were made to sit in church and listen.”

Singing with Linda was just instinctive. “It seemed natural, it made sense that (Linda and I) should sing together, a bit of a team.”

When Bull started her own family – her daughter, Mafi-Iolani, was born 15 years ago – she very quickly understood the richness of an extended family. “I had Mafi when I was 31 and I was incredibly selfish, just did whatever I wanted, being a singer and travelling and partying all the time and having a great time,” she says.

“When I told mum I was going to have a baby, she was like ‘Oh no, no, no, no, not you’. I got really upset. Then I had Mafi – who mum delivered – and she was right, I had no idea what motherhood was all about.

“It was terrible. We all lived with mum and it took her about a year to show me how to be a good mum. I didn’t take to it naturally. I was sort of like ‘This is weird’. As soon as the baby was born I handed it straight to mum and she handed it straight back and goes ‘It’s your baby’ and I’m ‘OK, here we go’.

“I’m so happy that I had my mother to show me, blessed to have her. She sat up with her every night – I sat up with her, I didn’t sort of fall asleep or was a lazy cow, I was helping my mother as well.

“I’m really glad I had her [her mother’s help]. One time she went away for the weekend and I was on the couch in tears. I reckon I would have suffered postnatal VIVAVIK

depression had she not been there. She came and took the baby and said ‘OK, OK, you go out and have a rest and I’ll take care of the baby’ and I came back and I felt much better.

“Living in an extended family was great. There would probably be a lot less postnatal depression if there was a lot more help.” She said her parents “did the same for Linda’s children too”.

How was she after the first year? “Cool bananas! Loved it. Best thing I ever did.”

Bull and her family still live with Bull’s parents. Mafi feels strong connections to her Tongan culture. “She loves it,” Bull says. “Mafi is very fair-skinned with blue eyes, doesn’t look Tongan at all. But she feels more Tongan than she does Australian. She was raised by her grandmother, who is Tongan. She was very hands-on.”

Cultures that don’t embrace the extended family seem to be missing out on this connection. I asked Bull whether she thought their family’s way was the way to live. “Of course. Mum and dad are nearly 80 and they’re not lonely, they’ve got their grandchildren around them, we’re always there, we cook them dinner, we always eat together.

“Our kids love them, they love spending time with them. We can work. They can pick them up from school. They’re always there when the kids come home from school and [they] feed them.”

Being a musician isn’t always great for family life and having this in-built family help has been invaluable. “It’s been great for the career. Because we do go away a lot. We put our kids in schools close to their home so they can walk. I had to work … I went back on the road six weeks after I had Mafi. I’ve got a husband that works as well.”

Mafi, 15, is, by the looks of it, heading towards following her parents’ path. “I’d say she’s probably going to be a musician. Her father’s a drummer, it’s in the blood. We encourage it.”

Bull’s next project is the starring role in At Last – The Etta James Story. The show will feature Bull telling the story of the American soul singer with spoken word and 24 of James’ songs. It will open just over a year after Etta James’ death in January last year.

Bull is excited to be telling James’ story. She first heard about the singer when she was trying out for a late-’50s band called Sophisticated Boom Boom.

“During rehearsals the bass player said I should check out this singer, Etta James,” she says. “I was fresh out of school and listening to EON-FM top-40 stuff. He gave me some of her records, I took them home and just went ‘OK, she’s the one’. I really liked the way she sang and the emotion in her voice … I liked her power. And I liked the way she could tell a story.”

James had a tough life. “Her mother was pretty wild, in and out of jail, would appear then disappear, hanging out with bad men,” Bull says. “Etta was fostered out,

went on the road when she was 14, and that’s when she started. She had to have chaperones and her mother would appear and go on the road with her, but she was a bit of a fruit loop. Then it was going on the road and getting hooked on drugs and alcohol, going downhill, then coming back. The drugs didn’t destroy her … she was a survivor.

“It’s an interesting story, just amazing. She had children and they had a bit of a rough time with a mother with drug-addiction problems.”

Bull’s experience as a singer is huge. She reflects on working with Sting, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker and Paul Kelly. “They’ve all been fantastic. Joe was great, he was a great teacher, he taught us about touring and singing seven nights a week.”

She remembers looking out at the large crowds at Billy Joel and Sting shows. “Doing those stadiums was pretty intimidating,” she says. “You’re there thinking ‘Why am I here?’ Everyone’s there to see the main act, but it’s good experience being on a big stage.”

Kelly was a strong mentor and encourager. “Paul Kelly always encouraged me and Linda to write [songs] and we don’t do it that much … Linda and I really like singing with Paul, we like the blend. His voice cuts through. Linda’s is mellow and smoother, mine can hurt the ears a little bit, Paul has a very powerful voice. I think the three together, when we harmonise [it works].”

And Kelly writes great lyrics. “They are really good to sing. When I go back and sing songs with Linda that we wrote when we were young, I cringe, I’m thinking ‘This is crap’. What were we thinking? We were 18. “[Songwriting] is like pulling teeth. I hate it.”

She wishes she was able to write songs. “It makes sense. It’s something I probably should have worked on a lot more when I was younger. I’d have to sit down and treat it like a nine-to-five job, and

I’m too restless to do that. I could be out swimming or cooking or hanging out with mum and dad or my sister. I was too lazy. Linda loves it but I don’t.”

Is Bull tempted to look back on crossroad moments in her career? “I do. I think there are opportunities that have been missed. When you’re young, you think ‘I’m just going to do what I want and everyone else can get stuffed, this is what I want to do’. Sometimes I think we’ve made wrong decisions. Sometimes we’ve had the help there and not really listened to people that were more experienced than us, in the business.”

Why? “Didn’t want to do what they wanted us to do. We wanted to sing what we wanted to sing. It could have been a stepping stone for other things if we’d taken that advice. When we first signed to a record company they wanted us to make a soul album. We didn’t want to sing soul music, we wanted to sing country music. Maybe we should have done the soul thing.”

Still, there might be regrets but she’s been employed for nearly 30 years in the music business. Not a bad effort. “That’s right. Longevity in music – I think that’s our success, that people still want us to sing for them, people still come to our gigs. We’ve been lucky.”

Bull talks about avid fans who come repeatedly to see the sisters. “They’re incredibly loyal. Sometimes I’m a bit embarrassed. It’s because I’ve never done that myself with any band. I just can’t get my head around how they can come and see us sing 10 or more times. I’m like, well, aren’t you sick of us yet? I really enjoy talking to them and I’m really happy that they support us.”

She doesn’t really have passions apart from music. She loves reading autobiographies of rock stars, Etta James’, Neil Young’s (Waging Heavy Peace) and she left Anthony Kiedis’ searing, drug-soaked Scar Tissue on the table, which duly shocked her father when he picked it up.

Bull is gearing up for the James show, and is committed to honouring the singer’s life.

“I’ve got to make sure I do a good job and sing properly every night and tell her story with respect, because I really love Etta James.” \

FeBRUARY 6, 2013 \ The weekly review 5

Page 6: sea-southeast-20130206-iss

A bout three weeks into the school holidays, a friend posted a Facebook picture of a lovely, pristine, perfectly empty café and said, “Anyone

feel like a coffee … alone?”. Yes, about a 100 million people said. Hell yes.

In December I was so relieved the holidays had finally arrived I couldn’t contain myself, and now, just five weeks later, I can’t conceal my excitement. Yay, the new school year is imminent.

It’s that crazy yin and yang thing. The good always comes with something bad, the sweet with a bit of sour, the hot with the cold.

We might crave quality time with the family, but that time usually comes after Christmas, when everyone’s wound up like spinning tops.

This year, after the sugar wore off from the crap in the Christmas stocking, I wanted to give the family a big kiss and escape alone to a deserted café for the rest of the decade. (Does anyone know though if those candy-coloured, rubbery Santas, which come in the cheap supermarket stockings, are actually food? They’re so preservative-laden I’m sure we could all save them for next year’s Christmas tree decorations if the kids would let us.)

And the other adult in the house was no help. All he could do was complain about how much he needed to fit into the suitcase. Who does that? Who complains about putting things in a suitcase when you’re about to go on a holiday somewhere gorgeous?

But complaining is something we do that well over here. If I’m a glass-half-full person, the others are freaking out that their cup is about to run completely dry and there will be nothing else hand-delivered (by me) for the next 10 days. On holidays, his royal highness was convinced a tsunami or military coup was imminent, and my 10-year-old bothered to put her head up from her book for one second to let me know that her towel was sandy. And that her hair felt really weird.

Poor damn long-suffering thing, lying on a gorgeous

beach on a hotel-supplied pristine towel, surrounded by palm trees and fresh coconut juice and, shock horror … sand!

Planning a holiday is so fraught. Last year we took a break on the Victorian coast and for the entire 10 days the temperature didn’t get higher than 16 degrees. We had such high expectations – barbecues, entire days on the beach, walking home at the end of

the day with sand in all our crevices. But no, all we got was the big freeze. And I never packed for it. How could

you plan for Artic winds?So there we were, in middle of summer down by the sea,

wearing as many layers we could find from the bottom of the suitcase that were still not soiled from Shirley Temple spills, because after all, what else was there to do but sit in the local pub and drink raspberries?

We vowed never to deny our poor, underprivileged children the opportunity to use their new boogie boards again. So this year we left the country for guaranteed sun, and, of course, because of that yin and the yang thing, it was high 30s for days in Victoria. In fact, the day we left it was hotter in Melbourne than in Bangkok, where we were headed.

And of course we all got sick.I don’t want to give too much away here, but one of the

grown-ups suffered from violent motion sickness during an elephant ride. Again, who does that? Who vomits on an elephant ride, and then afterwards, on the side of the road and just about everywhere else, for the next 10 hours. And then one of the kids got an ear infection and three nights of fevers … from too much swimming.

So I guess that’s the yin and the yang thing again, or the universe reminding us that holidays aren’t always that amazing, because if they were you’d never want to come home. And there are lots of good things about our lives back here.

And it is really nice to be back. \[email protected]

Spilt Milk 288 Neerim Road, Carnegie

Food \ WholesomeVibe \ Down to earthBookings \ 9571 8880Open \ Daily 7am to 3pm » www.facebook.com/Spilt.Milk.Cafe

CAFÉ The fruit salad with yoghurt and a berry coulis is known at Spilt Milk as

a “monkey” – because monkeys eat fruit. The baked eggs with spinach and feta is called a “sheep” as the feta on the spinach looks like sheep in a paddock. There’s a fuit loaf known as the “possum” because the blueberries look like the creature’s eyes, and the muesli’s a “sparrow” because birds eat seeds.

That’s just the breakfast menu. The quirky names and the rustic décor at this quaint,

friendly local on busy Neerim Road have helped owners Jansen Domantay and Sam Campagna to create a business that would be at home in any country town.

The husband and wife team have children in a local school and a clear vision of their market. They opened their doors eight months ago after renovating the space, which had been a rundown opportunity shop. Their children help them with the creative dish naming.

Inside, the stripped-back concrete floors and sturdy hand-hewn furniture are charming. There are tiny stools in worn, glossy timber, earth-toned cushions lining a banquette that wraps around two walls, framed black-and-white paintings and dried-flower arrangements in tin pails.

Old fruit boxes have been stained to a warm walnut and are used as shelves behind the counter. While out on the footpath, tables sit behind a timber picket fence under a shady tree festooned with potted plants.

“We wanted to create a little coffee shop off the main drag – a business with reasonable rent and low overheads that would be near where our children went

to school,” says Domantay. He’s managed restaurants and cafes, including the

former Rosati’s in Flinders Lane, and ran Café Era in Melbourne Central with a business partner.

Spilt Milk, named after a frustrating experience registering business names (they couldn’t register the name they wanted and decided there was no use crying over spilt milk), is his first ownership venture.

“The coffee culture is changing and everyone is a critic, so we wanted to create a place where things

would be consistently good,” he says. Domantay visited Coffee Supreme flagship

café Batch in Balaclava repeatedly until he was convinced of the quality and consistency of the brand. He chose the Origin blend for its “smooth chocolate and fruity characteristics”

and also offers a changing single origin both as an espresso or a filter brew at Spilt Milk.

My Chemex filter coffee, served in its glass beaker, was a fruity single-origin Kiaragana from Kenya. It was bright and fresh, delivering the citrus and grapefruit flavours described by barista Luke Reid. The flavours deepened as the brew cooled and it finished with pleasant notes of chocolate and almond.

Lunch dishes include salads and focaccias with names like the “barraduca” – a tuna salad – and the popular “toucan” – toasted rye with buffalo mozzarella, thyme, basil, avocado and balsamic vinegar. You guessed it – the colours look like the bird’s feathers. \

tvWEDNESDAY NIGHT COMEDY \ ABC1, Wednesdays from 8.30pm» www.abc.net.au/abc1

Cheap and cheerful seems to be the current ABC motto when it comes to new comedy. This week sees the relaunch of ABC1’s Wednesday comedy night, featuring two new Australian productions held together by duct tape. We have to assume cheapness played a large part in the commissioning of Adam Zwar’s The Agony of Life (9pm), in which semi-famous people share semi-interesting anecdotes. It strives to be shocking, but is more frequently humdrum.

Much better is Shock Horror Aunty (8.30pm), a show that reminds us we’ll forgive anyone anything if they make us laugh. (Zwar, take note.) Hosted by The Chaser’s Craig Reucassel, this clips-based series looks at the ABC’s proud history of ruffling the nation’s feathers.

It’s a fun, slightly naughty exercise in nostalgia, peppered with commentary from past masters of edgy comedy, including Paul McDermott, Libby Gorr and Andrew Denton. While celebrating Aunty’s willingness to offend us, we’re allowed to draw conclusions as to whether Australia has become more or less tolerant. (There are a few clips Reucassel is banned from playing.) Denton suggests outrage is now less of a genuine, knee-jerk reaction and more of a sport. We keep our pitchforks at the ready, always looking for the next excuse to get delightfully offended. \

filmLINCOLN \ Opens February 6, Rated MA15+, 157 minutes.

Of the two Lincoln biopics recently released, this is definitely the most entertaining. Which is surprising, considering the other pic saw Abe battling vampires and this one consists of long conversations in darkened rooms. Indeed, Spielberg seems to resist every opportunity to

go epic. The opening battle scene recalls that of Saving Private Ryan, but in a muted, colourless

fashion. Later battles are either shot from a distance or only revealed by their aftermath. We are interested in the man, not his world. Thankfully, director and star provide a compelling, complex and witty portrait.

Daniel Day-Lewis is, predictably, superb. His Lincoln is a man who doesn’t quite fit the world he was born into, but instead chases a vision of his nation’s future. As such, the 21st-century viewer can ride on his broad shoulders, guided by a script that has fun pointing out the era’s ridiculous prejudices. Sadly, the final act is blighted by a sentimental coda that spoils a subtle, moving exit. \

musicKRIEG UND FRIEDEN (MUSIC FOR THEATRE) \ Apparat (Mute) » www.apparat.net

German musician Sascha Ring started out as an experimental electronic artist but, in forming the band Apparat, shifted his focus towards more traditional songwriting. In some ways, Apparat’s second record is a step in the other direction, employing a stranger, sparser palette than its predecessor. Even the more obvious tracks are rendered slightly odd. Light On – one of only two here with any vocals – feels somewhat like the broken pieces of a pop song, reassembled.

This sense of reconstruction is appropriate, given the album has been put together from motifs created by Ring for an abstract theatre production. Snatches of melody have been allowed to cohere into grand, sweeping pieces of score.

Lush opener 44 is a fragile, faltering work of melancholic strings. But it’s when the track segues immediately into its own remix and the strings fade into noise that the music feels genuinely widescreen. Ring’s soundscape of undulating hums and throbs somehow feels grander, prettier and more potent than any string quartert. In stripping back the veneer and revealing the mess underneath, Ring exposes the music’s heart – raw, urgent and oddly affecting. In places, these pieces lapse into mere ambience, but for the most part, there’s the promise that these subtle symphonies might, at any moment, build into something quite sublime. \

playSILENT \ Southbank Theatre, The Lawler, February 7-10, $35-40, 75 minutes. » www.mtc.com.au

This acclaimed Irish one-man play examines a downward spiral into homelessness through the lens of classic silent films. Tino McGoldrick has it all, then loses everything – including, possibly, his mind. Only his obsession with silent-movie star Rudolph Valentino provides anything in the way of romance. Star and creator Pat Kinevane tells his tale through movement and monologue, finding the humour in dark events. Having won several awards at the Edinburgh Fringe, Silent is in Melbourne for a strictly limited season. \

south east properties

Every great renovation needs a solid set of bones. Perhaps that’s why a contemporary update of this c1924 Californian bungalow was so successful for

its vendors.The winning combination of an impressive façade

and large rooms created the perfect blank canvas for their 2003 renovation, which has held up beautifully over the past 10 years.

A wide arch framing the tessellated-tiled porch creates a warm welcome beyond the neatly paved front yard, which is bordered by white pebbles.

In classic bungalow style, the two front rooms are off a wide central hallway, both lined with high-gloss polished floorboards.

The dining room has an open fireplace and plenty of space to entertain, particularly once the adjacent lounge is included. Ivory walls with a beige trim in both rooms will accommodate any style of décor with ease.

The first of four bedrooms is opposite, before the hallway opens up into the open-plan kitchen and meals hub.

Stainless-steel appliances are tucked below stone benchtops and splashbacks in the kitchen, which is compact but well appointed to serve the whole family.

The spacious meals and living area overlooks the back

garden through a bank of east-facing windows, which fills the space with morning light while keeping it cool during the afternoon heat.

Accommodation is split between the two levels, with a second, smaller bedroom tucked away at the back of the ground floor, and two large bedrooms upstairs.

There are two options for the main bedrooms, depending on your priorities. Privacy and polished floorboards are on offer downstairs, while a private balcony and the all-important walk-in wardrobe may well lure parents to the second floor.

Both are close to the bathrooms, which are contemporary in style and finish.

Several blocks from Caulfield Park and within walking distance of schools, trams and Caulfield Village, this house’s position has been pegged as one for the families. The size of neighbouring properties, ranging from period to ultra-modern suggests that this is no secret.

But, thanks to some solid foundations and a great renovation, this is a house that holds its own among some very good company. \

Resting behind a wall of greenery, this period house enjoys privacy and much-needed shade.

The property’s grand dimensions impress, with

soaring ceilings and frosted-glass chandeliers overhanging dark floorboards.

A wrought-iron fireplace in the lounge is a welcoming focal point. The room flows into a large dining area, with an immense kitchen to one side. Honey-coloured tiles and a sturdy timber breakfast bar soften sleek white cabinetry and stainless-steel finishes. The Ilve oven has a five-burner stovetop.

A more relaxed meals area leads to the expansive family room with study nook and a wall of glass created by bifold doors. The compact laundry and separate powder room are outside a second bathroom.

Spacious and airy, the main bedroom sits to the front of the property, with a walk-in wardrobe perched behind a sliding wooden door. A second study nook marks the entrance to an immaculate en suite with contrasting bright white walls and dark stone tiles. A gracefully curved claw-foot bath is perched in front of a tall window overlooking the decked courtyard.

The remaining two bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, sit on either side of the family area. A tree-lined backyard is perfect for relaxing, with a covered deck and a strip of well-kept lawn, allowing the kids room to play. \ STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

A picture-perfect red-brick property at the end of a sweeping driveway, this house is all about appearances, with two grand old trees at either end of the cream picket fence. Indoors it’s just as appealing, with polished floorboards throughout and elaborate cornice detail. Turn left at the entrance hall and you’ll find the spacious formal lounge with stone-set fireplace and glass-bowl chandelier. An equally roomy

family and dining area to the rear sits just the other side of the kitchen, which forms the hub. A plethora of custard-coloured cabinetry, worktop space and a Baumatic stainless-steel oven keep things practical. The light-filled main bedroom features a broad bay window, with the second bedroom next door having a bank of built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom or possible study sits just off of the family area to the rear. They share a striking bathroom in charcoal and gun-metal grey, with a skylight overhead. The backyard, with its built-in barbecue, has a large, raised deck overlooking the tree-lined lawn. \ STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

Residents are able to “wake up and smell the coffee” from this extended Edwardian located just off the Carlisle Street shopping strip. Services including trams, trains, shops and shops, with groovy cafés are laid on thick and primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. The semi-detached Edwardian façade is finished in butter-coloured render and the carport has a cobbled bluestone base. The main

bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, a terracotta-tiled en suite and glass doors to the private front courtyard. The second bedroom is of similar proportions to the main and has built-in wardrobes and a ceiling fan. The hallway passes the main bathroom and spills into a study with built-in desk and glass doors to a terrace. The kitchen divides attention between this study and the open-plan dining and living area via twin cutaways. Particularly spacious, the dining and living area has a sloping ceiling concluding with a glass section that in turn meets the fully glazed, rear wall. Extending under a Perspex canopy, the rear verandah has pleasant aspects over the backyard. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Colton Court has survived several building booms and is once again fashionable.

This top-floor apartment is very quiet, but those craving more excitement can relax in the knowledge all the colour and movement of St Kilda is only a short walk away.

Newly renovated, the apartment feels like a house with rooms off the entry hall. Its art-deco features effortlessly combine with sleek,

contemporary and practical design. Strapped high ceilings have geometric patterns, an open fireplace burns real wood and light coming in the multipaned windows dances across the polished floorboards.

The main bedroom features Poliform joinery, the high-end Italian product much loved by leading designers. A second bedroom is airy and has views through established trees.

The renovated kitchen with its white stone benchtops, black glass splashback, stainless-steel appliances and excellent storage opens to a landing with views past the rooftops to Luna Park and Port Phillip Bay.

The bathroom with elegant floor-to-ceiling tiles, frameless glass shower and hidden European laundry, completes the picture at this one-of-a kind offering. \ mARiA hARRis

Buying into St Vincent Place means purchasing a slice of Melbourne’s history, and with views of the beautiful gardens opposite, it is one of Melbourne’s most-coveted addresses. Although the house, part of Rochester Terrace, has been updated, the original classical features provide a fine example of Victorian architecture. High ceilings and polished timber floors are throughout. On the right is a formal dining

and living area, featuring fireplaces with marble mantels and intricate ceiling roses. A grand arched hallway leads to the kitchen, meals and living area, with a glass atrium at the back that allows sunlight to flood the room. Three bedrooms are upstairs across a split-level, with two sharing a bathroom, while the main bedroom has a fireplace and views of the gardens. Architect Col Bandy designed the studio in the back garden set over two levels that has a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, a small balcony and a private entrance into Bevan Street. A decked courtyard separates the residences, while tall walls on either side ensure maximum privacy. \ ElizAbEth AnilE

This pretty Victorian house is part of the historic Cowper Street precinct, an area that features in the Brighton Heritage Walk. Its single-storey double-fronted weatherboard façade is typical of Brighton’s former working-class areas. More than 100 years later, a heritage overlay address of this calibre commands prices nudging the million-dollar mark. The classic Victorian floor plan positions four large bedrooms

around a central hallway at front of the house. Three bedrooms feature open fireplaces with classic timber mantels, while the fourth has a picturesque outlook to the side garden, also shared by the dining area. The central lounge room has above-shoulder-height timber panelling and picture rails, as well as another elaborately mantelled fireplace. Timber cabinetry and terracotta-tiled floors are a rustic combination in the kitchen, which overlooks the casual meals area and study or sitting nook. A period-style bathroom is at the rear of the house, followed by an elevated covered deck, which overlooks fig and walnut trees and a studio in the back garden. \ miChEllE OstROW zUCKERmAn

John Arber - Counsellor and Hypnotherapist.We are living in a complex busy ever-changing world. In this world, people have many different types of experiences; some of them may be diffi cult to cope with. When we are stopped in our tracks by an event or situation that we do not, at that moment, have the resources required, we may talk to our family or friends or priests. But, occasionally, their advice is insuffi cient, or we may be too embarrassed or ashamed to talk to them about what is bothering us. Or we just don’t have an appropriate person to turn to.

Counselling hypnotherapy and biofeedback are really useful options at these moments. Counselling offers a confi dential, non-judgmental and respectful way for you to be understood and fi nd the best way to resolve your problems. After our initial consultation, together we will develop a counselling or hypnotherapy plan which meets your individual need, specifi cally assisting you in reaching your desired goals.
